Observe yourself! ResonanZen conveys to the layperson impressions of their brain activity – an immediate visualisation of pre-conscious activity as well, whereby professional EEG technology is used and brainwaves are made visible and audible. The interactive installation is based on audio signals of an/your EEG measurement, which is immediately translated into visible resonance by the Brain Avatar (artist's invention).
